CONFIRMED: MTV's "Faking It" Canceled After Three Seasons

Devastating news Faking It fans: the show has been canceled after three seasons.

MTV's other major shows, Teen Wolf and Awkward, are in their 6th and 5th seasons respectively, so Faking It ending after only three seems a bit sudden.

Early on, perhaps people thought it as a show for LGBT fans and even though I've never seen it that way — I think the show appeals to a broad audience — I do think it might have gotten that impression and maybe people didn't sample it who didn't feel like they fell into that audience," he shared in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

Of course he's talking about the show's plot line that follows two besties who become popular when their classmates mistakenly think they're dating and the experience leads one of the friends, Amy, to question her sexuality.

The Faking Itcast, including hottie Gregg Sulkin, took to social media to thank the fans for their continuing support:

Even though the show is coming to an end, Covington has hope for its future. "I think the show will have a strong life in the future," he shared. "Whether it's on iTunes or made available on Hulu or Netflix for long periods of time."
